THE PASSING OF GRADY.

Tho Presidential problem for 1883 has been
simplfed but at the expense of the New
South. 1.-THE Herald of this city yesterday
in cold, not TO say clammy blood withdrew
from circulation the hand made boom Of Grady,
of Atlanta. for the Vice Presidency, which it
lately placed in the field. 1t was unkind of
"Thc Herald" If the boom so soon was to
be done for, what, Oh what, was it begun for !
But yesterday Grady was hard-worlting news
paper man, whose ambition was probably
bounded by his sanctum and the annual dinner
of tho New England Society of New York.
Then came the temptcr in the shape of The
Herald" and placed tho cePrcsidential bee
in his bonnet. Now before Grady has had
time to arrange for getting the delegates from
his own ward to tho Democratic National Con
vcnton. what does "The Herald " do but take
in his boom and pitch it into its wastc-basket J!
And what makes the matter worse is a very
Indifferent sort Of arnica that our contemporary
applics TO the wounds on Grady's person for
which it is responsible. We quote from The
Hcrald's" article:
Wa have thought that Mr. Grady would be a good
man MI Grady Is Georgiani and Georgia Is the
Emplro state of the South, NewYorH is the Empire
state Of tho North. Cleveland and Grady woull, We
thought make strong team Somehow the southern
npss has not received tho suggestion rs cnthusias-
ticallv as We houcd. Colonel Grady Is good man
--nobodv. so IA as we have seen, denies that, but
We confess TO our disappointment at the cool rccep-
ton his name has met among his own people How
ever, that need not hurt the Colonel lie Is young
man vet and II he lives and docs we'll he may see
tho day when an enthusiastic party Will place him OF
tho head Of it, ticket
This, We submit, is only diluted and made
ouatc arnica In fact, there is a dash of red
pepper in IT, The assertion that the New
South has awarded merely '@cool reception ="
to the Grady boom; the intimation that it has
not risen M as one man-and the one man not
the Editor of "Thc Atlanta Constitution
cithcr-and rallied round il; these things ndd
insult to injury. II is just possible that as he
surveys the shattered fragments OF his boom
Grady may find good deal Of balm in tho
admission that everybody comedies on the first
ballot that he is "a good man. But We doubt
il Giady probably rccollccts that in the near
past n gallant Democratic standard bearer was
hailed 10y ono Of his organs as ga good man."
and that nevertheless he was defeated

TIE NATIONAL CONUNDRUM


What is the Interstate Commission going to
do with the numerous applications by Northern
roads for a suspension of the short-haul clariseP
THE TRIBUNE has urged in justice to the
Commission that it was invited to a worse than
Sisyphus labor In being empowered to modify
the law from week to week according to the
changing needs of all the railroads in the
country. No human commission could possibly
keep itself so informed of the perpetually
shifting facts of traffic over an entire continent
as to be able to act upon such questions with
promptness and entire business, and that in
itself is fatal objection to the law as it stands.
The Commission, it is true, made haste to relieve
Southern roads generally from the operation of
the law, and took just twenty -four hours to act
upon questions involving the traffic Of half the
territory east of the Mississippi.
But the investigation OF this question
at the South does not seem to have convinced
the Commission that the sh0rt-haul clause
should be permanently or generally set aside.
On the contrary, their quoted remarks appear
to indicate that the evidence has impressed
their minds adversely to The suspension so gen
orally asked by railroad men. 1t is inferred
that the Commission leans to- the belief that the
railroads are generally making too high
charges for through transportation in order to
render the act odious and could instead
materially reduce local charges If they chose.
If the Commission acts on that impression, q
lively season of costly litigation is at hand in
which the meaning of the act will be tested as
respects great many determinations in traffic.
Doubtless one of the earliest questions upon
which the Commission will have to act concerns
the lawfuness of the classification generally
adopted by the railroads, in which different
rates are made for carload lots and for small
shipments. The advocates of the Interstate
law unquestionably meant to put an end to the
discrimination in favor of large shipments, and
believed it would be good thing to have the
small country etOrebeeper able to ship his
single hundred weight of goods at the same
rate at which the great city wholesaler ships his
train loads. But the railroad men and all
students of railroad finances know that this
would involve heavy taxation of the large
shipper for the beueft of his smaller rivals.
The service performed for him Is actually the
cheaper of the two, by large odds, and thus the
companies have generally made lower rates for
it. If the Commission holds that two shipments,
one of carload and the other of one box, are
| under like circumstances and conditions, the
| field which litigation must cover before the act
| can begin to be of settled meaning is much
| wdened.

SLAVES TO THEIR CREED.

In recording the gossip about the vacancy
on the Supreme Court Bench and the men who
aspire to fill it, the reform newspapers find
room every day for the statement In one form
or another, that the President desires TO raise
his Attorney General to that dignity. But they
never find room for an indignant protest
against such an appointment. or even a modest
doubt of its possibility. This ought not TO
surprise anybody. independents" they call
themselves, and yet by the very terms of their
compact they are estopped from the simplest
exercise Of independence. To love Cleve.
land and hate Blaine is their creed, and it
might be contended with wealth Of argument
and illustration that in the ultimate analysis
tho latter clause includes the former that
hatred of Blaine cannot be perfect hatred,
but must inevitably lack some element of viz
ulence, unless IL involve an AFFECT devotion TO
the man for whose advantage they sold them
selves to the Devil.
Can there exist anywhere on the face Of the
earth another body Of creatures self-condemned
10 such groyeling bondage They cannot
declare that it Is an outrage to suppose the
President capable Of elevating the tainted Gar
land to tho Supreme Bench, since they must be
ready at q moments notice to glory in the ap
pointment II it is made, They cannot protest
against Civil-Service-Refom jugglery which
here and there retains a Republican in Office
through fear of public reprobatlon, and turns
out thousand In obedience to party clamor.
They dare not encourage the zeal Of young
man who wants to serve his country. nor
strengthen the hands Of veteran whose whole
life has been public service. without consult

TIE PRICE OF RECIPRoCITY

The debates in the Dominion Parliament
deserve more attention than Is ordinarily PAID
to them by American readers. A speech OF
one Of the Prince Edwards Island members
on Monday, for example, contains very use
full hint for Legislators in Washington. Mr..
Welsh, in the name of the Maritime Provinces,
clamored for reciprocity Of trade and free ac-
cess to their natural market-the United States.
He denounced the Treaty Of Washington, and
insisted that reciprocity was the only policy
that would satisfy the Provinces. The fisheries
question must be kept open, he said, until
fair reciprocity treaty can be negotiated.
Reciprocity is the chief end Of Dominion
politics. Ontario desires it as ardently as the
fishermen OF Nova Scotia and the farmers OF
Prince Edwards Island. 1t is the one thing
which the Queens subjects in North America
demand with one voice and they expect the
United States to favor their wishes, although
experience has proved unerringly that reciproc-
ity is onc-sided bargain that is far more
profitable to Canada than to the United States.
II is serious mistake for American legislators
or journals to encourage the Provinces to hope
for commercial without political union. Those
Provinces demand all the commercial advan-
tages which they would have If the -~Nre In
oor,,oroted ~ states IN the Anne ion,
and many Of their public men hat
reciprocity will be granted again, as 1t has
been in the past, from an excess of generosity
and good nature on the part of American
legislators. Importhnato applicants like Mr..
Welsh need to be reminded that annexation
and reciprocity are not to be divorced, and
uot tho commercial and political advantages
Of union arc rrevocably bound together.
